Wow. That Album Really DID open THE GATE

Sarah Palin is resigning in an incoherent mess and Al Franken is a US Senator. Even as a progressive, I am kind of freaked out at the strong evidence that someone, somewhere, cut a deal with Satan.

  1. Somebody has something BIG on Palin.

  2. I think I'd prefer that to the above-stated alternative.

    Other, more benevolent alternatives yet to be named, though?

  3. This must be an unbelievably, well, unbelievable time for the . . . ah . . . um, true believers on the Right.

    Um, Satan? This would be a really, really good time for EMTs to bust into a cheap motel room and find Rush Limbaugh thrashing around on a rubber sheet full of Crisco and shaved guinea pigs.

    Alternative to the Deal with Satan theory:

    Remember how presidents elected in years ending in zero were supposed to die in office? I figure that Reagan surviving his assassination tore a rift in space-time, allowing the world to enter a Bizarro Universe. (Back around '89, I figured this explained how the Soviet Bloc could collapsed in the space of a few years . . . remember how incredibly weird that seemed back when it was happening?)

    Maybe we're merging back into the Sane and Normal timeline.

    Apparently she can get the job but she can't DO the job.

  6. Time to start a new meme: the GOP 2012 Presidential Doomwatch (I originally thought of Deathwatch but that's too macbre (sp)). See if you can guess which aspiring GOP Hopeful for the 2012 Campaign gets schadenfreuded into oblivion next.

    I haven't seen this much disaster leading into a Presidential campaign for a political party since 1991, when the Dems were losing hopefuls right and left until Clinton was the best choice (???). And hell, there's still 3 years to go here for the Republicans...

    She's going to transfer to the governor's office of a couple other states, and eventually rack up enough credits to complete the term.

  9. I don't know what album you're talking about but it seems that if anyone made a deal with the devil it's Mitt Romney.

    Sanford gets caught as an adulterer, and has what could only be though of as God(and I'm an atheist so that's hard to stomach) kill Michael Jackson to save him and then he blabs on about it more.

    Governor of Utah gets tapped for an ambassadorial post. Huckabee decides to be a talkshow host(and isn't a fiscal con so even if he runs he isn't a ringer), Palin implodes then resigns, Jindal gives a disastrous speech, and Pawlenty makes a fool out of himself with the Franken-Coleman debacle.

    I imagine the ghost of Ronald Reagan will come back just to give a keynote speech at a Romney campaign event.

    Paul Wartenberg -- I'm reminded less of the Democratic presidential campaign of 1993 and more of the Republican primary campaign to challenge Mike Dukakis as governor of Massachusetts in 1986. The early front-runner was businessman John Lakian, who was found to have falsified his resume in his campaign literature, e.g., saying he was "Harvard-educated" after taking a continuing ed course. Next up was Greg Hyatt, "the candidate with nothing to hide", who was reported sitting naked in his office. The eventual nominee, George Kariotis, was third with 17% in the primary with a write-in campaign, according to his Wikipedia page. A footnote in history, except that Dukakis' 69-31 win in the general gave some people the idea that he could be elected president...

  11. Isn't anyone going to actually defend Palin? Not sure how you could, but it would spice things up a little here.

    Cheney's deal ran out?

    A seven-year period is boilerplate for diabolical legal instruments.

  14. Defending Palin: Maybe she's part of a long, secret false flag 20-year lefty operation to make conservatives look bad. She deliberately targeted Alaska because it was the lowest populated state in the nation for minimum exposure, never dreaming she'd have a chance to bring down a Republican Presidential campaign. Now, she's attempting to pre-sabotage her 2012 campaign to ensure Obama's re-election victory.

    Keep up the good work, Sarah!

  15. @ Tim W. --

    I lean right on most things except social issues, in other words I want the government out of banks and bedrooms, but I wouldn't defend Palin's decision to quit. I do think she's been unfairly targeted and know of no other governors who've had the number of cases thrown at her (and subsequently dismissed) as she has.

    But if packing your bags and going home when the going gets tough is any kind of indication as to how she handles pressure, then whatever sympathy I might be able to muster is quickly lost.

    In short, her actions are pretty hard to defend.
